Compatibility of Civa with TBM-700
Jul 16^th, 2008, 12:34am

Buon gioro e aiuto. Just joined this site, and I'm anxious to try the INS. However, I installed the INS into EADS's Socata TBM-700 for FS2004 and wondered if Civa is compatible with this aircraft. The gauges appear, but the CDU displays remain dark when ALIGN is selected and the keypad does not function. The Civa main folder is installed inside the main Fltsim folder. An .isd file did appear after attempts to align. Enclosed is the panel.cfg. I installed the MSU in the overhead consul.

hi,
in the window 00 change the gauge 01:
gauge01=../civa/INS!NavModeSingle, 45, 90, 20

in the window 01 change the gauges 72,73,74:
gauge72=../civa/INS!MsuPanelIcon, 583, 276, 14,14,47
gauge73=../civa/INS!CduPanelIcon, 583, 290, 14, 14, 49
gauge74=../civa/INS!AdeuPanelIcon, 583, 304, 14, 14, 49

in the window 09 change:
size_mm=550,432
pixel_size=550,432
gauge01=../CIVA/INS!Adeu1,276,00,174,85
gauge02=../CIVA/INS!Adeu2,276,217,174,85

I suggest also to eliminate the window 00 and move its gauge 00 and gauge 01 from window 00 to window 01 after that you have to renumber the windows

To give power to the INS you have to position the MSU selector to STBY. Gianfranco

I posted my problem on another site, and this is the response:

Quote:

First of all, the original "empty" Window00 was used for a reason, which is that Window00 must always remain on screen, regardless of which other WindowNN is open. This is, of course, because Window00 contains the "outside view" (what you see out the window).

Secondly, any gauge that must be loaded and initialized immediately must be listed in the Window00 even if the coordinates and size make the gauge "invisible." While the x,y can be 0,0, the w,h (size) must never be less than 1,1 (one pixel) otherwise the gauge won't load at all. Hence:

gauge00=../civa/INS!Config, 0, 0, 1, 1

Thirdly, the reason why the two panels -VFR & IFR- are defined as separate "popup" WindowNN entries is so that one or the other may be displayed at one time. While you could place the VFR (the shorter panel) in the Window00 section, that means that the IFR Window would simply cover the VFR panel, which means that two sets of gauges would be running simultaneously... not a smart idea if you like performance...

Finally, Window00 is by default given a zorder of 0 (zero). If fact, unless specified, all WindowNN sections have a zorder of zero! To guarantee that popup windows always appear on "top" of other windows, simply assign them a zorder=n such that they'll "layer properly" when displayed:

zorder=n

I went to the original panel.cfg and included the INS files. The gauge72 pixel parameters in [window00] were changed to X,Y,1,1. The system didn’t come on. I transferred the INS gauge00 line to [window01] (Main Panel), and it came on! The INS will go through its alignment process until it reaches Performance Index 6 and will stop or progress so slowly that it’s not worth the wait (over an hour). Which one, I don't know. So, my panel.cfg currently looks like this:

[Window00]
file=TBM_Empty.bmp
size_mm=1024,768
window_size_ratio=1.00
position=7
visible=0
ident=40

[Window01]
file=TBM_Main.bmp
size_mm=1024,768
window_size_ratio=1.0
position=0
visible=1
ident=41

...
gauge72=../civa/INS!Config, 0, 0, 1, 1

...
[window09]
file=INS_CDU
size_mm=275,400
pixel_size=360,400
position=5
visible=0
ident=49

gauge00=../civa/INS!Msu1, 0, 0, 275, 75
gauge01=../civa/INS!Cdu1, 0, 80, 275, 216
gauge02=../civa/INS!NavModeSingle, 215, 300, 45, 90
gauge03=../civa/INS!Adeu1, 0, 295, 215, 95
gauge04=TBM_Instr!Close_Subpanel, 0, 0, 18, 18, c49

Why won't it continue past API 6?
